A year ago.... where or what were you?

One year ago I was searching...searching for something that I could not define. Coming here, listening, learning,laughing, and all the other things one does here at lit...well, I have come a long ways.

I have learned things about myself that I didn't know existed. I have found hope, truth, and even deep thinking. I am glad that I found this site. I am glad that I worked up the courage to write a few stories, and I am glad to have met the great people that I have.

I am more confident in my mind as to how I act and react to people and situations too for some strange reason.

Now, if I could only write or type without the mistakes and re-writing I do...heh heh:)
 
That's what I mean. It is more a meeting of minds.

Shaking head, though at times...
 
Eb and Shadows, I am shocked and appalled that two have been perusing such smut! My world is totally askew now. ;)

Well, Dommes read, sometimes...
 
A year ago I was traveling the same route as I am today....I have learned more and more with each year about myself and my skitten with each time we play.
I like to hear what others have tried and like or dislike.
I like to hear the juicy tales told from others.

I look at this place as very much an adult commuity where we can come to be with others like ourself.
I know in real life we have very few folks that we can talk with about things we like without them calling us freaks......which is cool cause we are and like it....

I have been here a while and don't post everyday but always check in . I get lost in such a big board anymore . When I post I post in many forms and folks think I have gone away but I still lurk and read what and when I can. If I find something I feel I can add to then I jump in.
Over time I have learned tons about myself and what life is about. It took me a little longer than a year but this place is one wild ride.:D ;)

That's the funny thing about you Dom/me types. You enjoy having us slightly off balance from time to time. ;)

1. How have you changed this past year? Are you happy with it?

2. Who here helped in that change? Or maybe we are just playthings to while away your time, and that's fine too. We need rest time, play time to balance life.


Most of you don't know me... I have only posted here a few times, but saw this and wanted to reply.

1 - In the last year so much has changed for me. Aside from the craziness that has been happening in my life, I also learned that I have quite the submissive side. I found someone to fill that part of me that had felt empty before...and then he was gone before I knew it.

2 - The only person here who really helped in that change is someone who doesn't post here anymore - unless he's changed his name... I'm not sure. It started as friendship and discussion and then exploded into something more after we met.

I've learned two very important (for me) things. One, I can have love without a D/s relationship and be satisfied. Two, I cannot have a D/s relationship without love.
 
A year ago, I was pretty much exactly as I am now only with more responsibilities around Lit, and fewer letters after my name.

And you all helped me achieve my current level of emotional stagnation and recently acquired internet freedom and all the attendant frivolity. :D

So where is my check?:D
 
A year ago I was in the sweltering heat of an Australian summer selling my house and packing up to come back to Europe to Master permanently, trying to find shippers at the last minute after the others had let me down, as well as racing to the hospital to see my granddaughter, and trying to catch up with everyone before leaving. It was hell and I often wonder how I managed to do it all. I had nightmares for weeks and still do have them from time to time, especially when he mentions moving again!! Still have not unpacked all the last lot. :eek:

Catalina :rose:
 
A year ago I was packing up to move for the second time in almost a year, I was unemployed, my father had been seriously ill and the long distance relationship I had put my whole heart into was heading into trouble (though it was just a feeling I had at the time, soon after he dropped the bombshell that it would be better if we didn't keep it going :( ).

I remember that time as a blur of stress and unhappiness and I started having health problems about then too (as if all of the above wasn't enough!)

Complete turnaround now......I've moved again, to a new country not just the next town over......I'm still unemployed but hopeful of finding a job here soon.....my dad is still with us and doing well.......my health is a LOT better.....and that other man did me a HUGE favour, because if he hadn't dumped me I wouldn't have a new life here with Master who I love so much, and who has made me feel so complete in my submission to Him :heart:
 
A year ago

One year ago i was alone with nothing but work to console me. Now i have a master, and am exploring my submissive side. This is new to me but am finding it to be a true part of myself that has been left wanting for so many years. I am growing in ways i never thought i would. this forum is a great find for me. so here's to growing and loving it!:cathappy:
 
A year ago, I unhappy, unfullfilled, and was heading toward maritial disaster, and also beginning a relationship with the man who would be my first Sir.

I had met someone online, who at this point one year ago was just beginning to become so much more to me. It was almost at this time that I found Lit, and the world of BDSM and was able to give a name to everything I had been feeling and desiring since junior high and before.

I rushed head long into my love affair with this man, was very public about my journey into submission, and grew a great deal because of it. I also had a great deal of pain, which came later and has made me into who I am now.

I also met another person about this same time, who became very important to me as well, and still remains a part of my life today.

My life is more stable now. I re-evaluated everything I was doing, and took hard looks at my actions and how they affected others. I rekindled my marriage, I renewed my walk with God, and my world as a sub was pushed a bit toward the back burner.

One year ago I was throwing myself actively into the lifestyle, now I keep distance from the lifestyle, but I dabble enough to sate my desires so they do not overwhelm me any more.

A lot has changed. Ask me this again in a year. I would be curious to see what changes :)
 
I'm very new to the board and in fact this is my first post. From reading through several of the other messages I get a sense of family on this board.

I had to reply to this particular message as my life has taken dramatic turns in the past year. Given that none of you know me, I'll keep it high level.

I was introduced to BDSM online several months ago, by a slave looking for a Domme. I was intrigued and decided to adventure. Unfortunately that adventure was a short one with my slave. I've since found a sub, again only online, and having a Domme mindset has given me the strength I've needed in my personal life to make it through some very rough times.

To answer the question of the original thread...In the past year I have delved deep inside myself to find the true me that had gotten washed away in an emotionally abusive marriage. I have found strength that I never knew I had. I have begun an exploration of my feminine side and am thrilled at the discoveries. I have more patience and feel less anger. I am excited and hopeful about the future.

Best regards,
Eos
 
Wow, a year ago almost to the day, i was moving to AZ (where i currently live) from MI. i made the move to be closer to my Dom who i had not met face to face yet. i found a job, met my Dom and the rest is history.

Today, i am still His precious pet and we are closer than ever. i just recently moved to another city in AZ, and am the happiest i've ever been. Life is good!!! :)


(It would be better tho, if we atleast lived in the same state!! :( )
 
Welcome to the board Eos_2004...hope you enjoy and feel at home in no time!! Looking at the recent postings here just emphasises how much difference such a short period of time can make. Will be fascinating to see where we all are, and doing, this time next year.

A year ago...

I was trying to make my (Nilla) boyfriend love me, especially the sub side of me which he had NO CHANCE of understanding

I was living with him, hating him, and hating being mom and dad to HIS boys

Fighting the fact that yes, I am sub; yes I know who my Dom in shining armour is and wondering how the heck we get there from here

I was heavy enough to have been considered obese

Three months ago...

I decided to leave said Nilla boyfriend, let him raise his kids while I take care of me

I got my own apartment with just my name on the lease

Surrendered myself to loving Him

I've lost 25 lbs in the past year

I want to know where I will be a year from now. I know I will not be the same person I am now, but that will not be a bad thing.
